The Pittuck Mural, covering the width of the interior east wall in St Mary's Parish Hall, approximately 8 metres by 4 metres, in Barnard Castle, has been a point of interest ever since the Hall was constructed in the late 1950's. 

It was painted as a gift to the town by local artist Douglas Pittuck and  depicts the life and times of Barnard Castle after the Second World War, showing many local landmarks, and featuring local people dressed in the dress of the times. 

In recent years it had deteriorated seriously, but remedial work has now been carried out on the external wall to solve the problem of penetrating damp.
